Japan Radiation Level in Worst Level
Raising the alert: NISA Director-General Kenkichi Hirose speaks during a joint news conference with Japan's Nuclear Safety Agency in Tokyo this morning
With radioactive substances pouring out a 'wide area' the crisis level had been raised from 5 to 7, posing a threat to human health and the environment.
Level 7 has only been applied to the Chernobyl accident in the former Soviet Union in 1986.
Today an aftershock at a magnitude of 6.3 and with an epicentre 40 miles south of Fukushima city and about 100 miles north of Tokyo, shook the nuclear plant and workers fighting to control the spread of radiation were ordered to evacuate immediately.

Let's just hope that this alert level will not go up again so that the Japanese people will have a peaceful minds already. Let us all pray for Japan!
